Boohbah, Boohbah, Boohbah, Booh!

There's a new television program called Boohbah, aimed at children ages 3 to 5, launching this month on PBS.
[The] show might seem beautiful in the same hypnotic way as a druggy midnight screening of "2001: A Space Odyssey." ...

Two years in the works, "Boohbah" premieres on most PBS stations Jan. 19 (check local listings), when, if "Teletubbies" is any predictor, it becomes a cultural touchstone — and, for parents within earshot of the television, the bane of their existence.

But who can blame them, when the opening of the show sounds something like this: Boohbah, Boohbah, Boohbah, Booh! Boohbah, Boohbah, Boohbah, Booh! Boohbah, Boohbah, Boohbah, Booh! (Kids giggling) Boohbah, Boohbah, Boohbah, Booooooooh!

Wow. This sounds fantastic! I hope it's still on the air when my kid is 3.
